Image
A widely followed crypto analyst says one altcoin that has skyrocketed over 700% in the last four months still has momentum while updating his outlook on Bitcoin (BTC) and Fartcoin (FARTCOIN). In a new thread, pseudonymous crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa tells his 253,000 followers on X that Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), the native asset of the Pudgy Penguins non-fungible token (NFT) collection, still has room to grow despite seeing massive gains earlier this year. “I still like PENGU a lot, but not currently in an active position on it.

Moving on to the crypto king, Sherpa says that if BTC can r...

Bitcoin Core devs think it would be easy, and funny, to attack Knots | Protos

It is becoming increasingly difficult to protest Bitcoin Core version 30 (v30). Determined to roll out a major change to the Bitcoin network’s largest mempool and seal their victory over dissidents in this year’s OP_RETURN war, a pro-v30 mining pool consultant was laughing this weekend about attacking dissident nodes for sport. Although Bitcoin developer and creator of Marathon’s Slipstream mining queue did not actually sustain that attack, many pro-v30 developers were mocking at how funny it would have been. In the hypothetical attack tickled pro-v30 influencers, he described identifying Knots nodes using their Comcast residential internet Autonomous System Numbers. He would have then spun up over 90 nodes, hypothetically speaking, and repeatedly have requested an Initial Block Download from those Knots nodes.
